'A privilege, not a right': US to revoke visas of up to 200,000 asylum seekers

The White House suggested that up to two hundred thousand visas could be affected, though the State Department did not confirm that specific figure. This move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to reduce immigration, which has already seen some one hundred seventy-five thousand visas revoked since January twenty twenty-five.
